This work had been done in in- stances only where there were no funds available by the cities. Several years ago Uhdér the rection of Monorable William Mitchell, who took the matter up with Gov. George A. Parks of Alaska, co-operating with Honor- able Sanford Bates, Director of United States Prisons, for the United States, and Albert White, United States Marshal for this district, TUnited States Federal prisoners were allowed to work on ublic works in this District where it would not interfere with the hiring of local labor and where no other funds were available. As stated, the cities mentioned took advantage of this situation and work has heen in progress in these di- D. jcities for the past four years. Dur- ing the first year of this work prisoners were put out in the Ju- neau vicinity. Escape Stops Work Due to an escape of one of the Work At Frank Metcalf Dr. DeVigne W. P. Scott, corduroy bridge.

Wilson | Work at Marshal White states that the [ following points should be observed in the working of United States Prisoners: (1) That the work would not have been done otherwise, and there was no money available for it; 2) home The physical value to the site owners and the work done has been beneficial; (3) Tt has greatly assisted the prisoner’s health, and makes him available for work when he leaves the penal institution; (4) Tt has been a saving to the Government, for the reason in many instances prisoners who have a fine, say of $500, have been able to work out this fine at $4 per day, while if they remained in jail they would only be allowed $2 per day. Thus on a $500 fine they would be confined in jall 250 days, and would have to remain indoors, while if they worked on public projects they would only serve 125 days. The saving to the prisoner therefore at the rate of $2 per day would be a saving of $250 on his fine, and.the Government saves $125 at the rate of approxi- mately $1 per day for feeding him. So when there are ten prisoners or more working on a project the saving would be considerable. The A. White, 10 yds. corduroy trail F.

LOCHNER MUNICH, July 26.—If Geérmany is to win her freedom from post- war restrictions, a complete break must be made from the methods employed by German diplomats since the founding of the Repub- lic, says Adolf Hitler, chief of the National Socialists. “When the revolution broke out in November, 1918, Hitler wrote recently, “there was raised the flag | of illusions which has since been | flying over all foreign acts of Ger- i man governmen It was one of | the few who years ago dared ex- | pose these illusions to the people.” | The signing of the treaty of Versailles, the passive resistance in the Ruhr, the Dawes and Young plans, the policy of demonstrating | good will in meeting reparations ' until Germany’s inability to pay\ was demonstrated—all this, for) which Rathenau, Stressemann, Cur- tious and Bruening stood, rested upon illusions, according to Hmer.l Illusion to Disarm “It was an illusion to surrender the navy and the commercial fleet/ in the hope of seeing it returned,” he wrote, “an illusion to disarm | in the expectation that France| Berlin.
